The ballet with music by French composer Adolphe Adam continues to captivate audiences with its touching storyline and expressive choreography. "Giselle" is a story about how love is stronger than death. The libretto is based on the legend of the wilis - girls who were deceived by their fiancés and died before their wedding. The main character of the ballet, the gentle peasant girl Giselle, becomes a victim of betrayal. The fickle Count Albrecht professed his love to her and promised to marry her, but broke his word, choosing a rich and noble girl instead. Giselle, who has a weak heart, dies of a heart attack upon learning this. After her death, she becomes a ghost - a wilis, and now, along with other wilis, is called to take revenge on her murderer. But when Albrecht wanders into their domain, his former beloved saves him from certain death. A simple girl at the center of the narrative, psychology, rich choreography - all this makes "Giselle" an everlasting masterpiece of the Romantic era.
